Kindiki breaks silence on violence at UDA meeting in Embu
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has condemned violence that occurred during a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party meeting in Nembure, Embu County.
In a statement on Saturday, September 12, Kindiki said the party regretted the loss and damage arising from the disruption of the meeting, which he attributed to youths who had been organized to interfere with the gathering.
“The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party regrets the loss and/damage brought about by those responsible for organizing the youth to disrupt our party meeting in Nembure, Embu earlier today,” he wrote.
Kindiki said the incident was unacceptable and called on security agencies to take action against individuals involved in political violence.
“The Party condemns violence and demands that law enforcement agencies take punitive measures against all those responsible for perpetuating political violence,” he added.

Kindiki further said UDA wanted political competition to focus on development records and policy proposals rather than confrontations and rhetoric.
“The Party stands for issue-based politics and a contest around who or which party has a better development track record and policy goals for Kenya’s future , rather than forcing support through lies, violence and useless slogans,” he further said.
Kindiki said the party leadership in Embu had been directed to establish the extent of the damage caused during the incident and coordinate assistance for those affected.
“Our party leadership in Embu has been tasked with verifying the exact nature of the loss and/or damage, and to coordinate responses to stand in solidarity with all those adversely affected in one way or another,” he concluded.
